講好的暗號
裝在字裡面的那層意思,是事先講好的,只有講好的人打得開。
noun · B2
A word or phrase that is given a different meaning from its usual one, so that people who know the arrangement can say something to each other secretly.
暗號;代號
Picture an ordinary word with a second meaning packed inside it. On the outside it sounds like nothing special, so it can be said out loud anywhere. What it really carries depends on an agreement, or on what both people already know — and that is what decides who hears the surface and who hears the load.
